Crisp Branzino Fillets with Zucchini and Fresh Tomato Jus

• 2 pounds large beefsteak tomatoes, chopped
• 1/4 cup sliced red onion
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 thyme sprig
• 1 mint sprig
• 1 parsley sprig
• 1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds
• Salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 medium zucchini, thickly sliced
• Eight 3-ounce branzino fillets, pin bones removed
• Lemon zest strips, for serving

1. Puree the tomatoes in a blender.
2. Strain the juice into a medium saucepan, pressing lightly on the solids; you should have about 2 cups.
3. Add the onion, garlic, thyme, mint, parsley and coriander seeds and bring to a boil.
4. Simmer over moderate heat until reduced to 1 cup, about 6 minutes.
5. Strain the jus into a small saucepan, season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
6. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil.
7. Season the zucchini with salt and pepper and cook over high heat until lightly browned and tender, about 4 minutes.
8. Transfer the zucchini to plates.
9. Wipe out the skillet.
10. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to the skillet and the remaining 2 tablespoons to another large nonstick skillet.
11. Season the fish with salt and pepper and add to the skillets, skin side down.
12. Using a large spatula, press the fish lightly to sear the skin for a few seconds.
13. Cook over high heat until the skin is very crisp and browned, about 5 minutes.
14. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for 1 minute longer, until the flesh flakes when pierced with a fork.
15. Place the fish over the zucchini, skin side up, and spoon the warm tomato jus all around.
16. Garnish with lemon zest and serve right away.
